So when Paul refers to Jesus as Christ (in the Koine Greek manuscripts it is “The Christ,” ton christov, etc), Paul is showing that he recognizes the deity of Jesus.

In addition, I would note that Paul repeatedly refers to Christ as “Kyrios” (generally translated as “Lord”) which in this context is the Greek synonym for Jehovah, the supreme Lord and Sovereign of the Universe.

Not a very good one. Didn’t Soros teach him he was supposed to be in the ‘military’ too. When the lefties try to build these characters, they mostly do a poor job.

An extremely atheistic/magical notion of prayer, to boot. It’s not like people like Augustine never thought of a rebuttal to that one.

Oh, and Paul clearly thought of Christ as divine–Romans 9:5 (yes, yes the comma nonsense), repeatedly calling Him “Lord,” his modification of the Shema to include Christ, and even in offhand terms as the opening verse of Galatians, which puts Christ on the divine side of the ledger:

“Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead…”

But I bet is was okay with you that corporations withdrew funds and no longer allowed BSA meetings on their property. You can’t have it both ways. The Boy Scouts should be allowed to included or excluded whom they like and the benefactors are allowed to withhold funds and venues. Only one side is vilifying the other and it is not the Boy Scouts.
